Good Evening Bill,
Still having my smtp auth problem here :( I just got done doing a
complete reinstall of vpopmail and qmail using your guide and it still
won't work. The weird thing is that I am getting this error when
tryingto do a manual SMTP 'AUTH LOGIN' (after i enter my username and
password (base64 encoded)):
454 oops, unable to write pipe and I can't auth (#4.3.0)
Any ideas?
